That demon, male desire - Historum

"I've never heard of a woman being stigmatised or disparaged for expressing an attraction to big men, rough men, geeky men or whatever. A man who expresses similar desires for women who don't conform to standard norms of beauty is a perv, a fetishist, a weirdo."

All men get 'horny' or 'turned on',i don't think they get treated any worse than women do anymore in this day and age.

I have always had a thing for Big Rachel. Not being a big man myself I think she could have been the one for me. We are blood related, but, propriety be damned she is the gal I want.

Mrs Rachel Hamilton (nee Johnston), nicknamed “Big Rachel”, was originally from Ireland but lived in Partick. She was 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighed around 17 stone. She worked as a labourer in Tod & MacGregor shipyards, as a forewoman navvy at the Jordanhill Brickworks and latterly as a farm worker at Anniesland. Big Rachel was sworn in as a special constable during the Partick Riots in August 1875.

Perhaps its because men are more likely to commit violent sexual crimes than women.

Katie Couric on a morning show once interviewed Don Rickles by telephone on the occasion of his birthday. With his usual non-comedic obnoxiousness, Rickles interjected, "Shut up or I'll spank you!" Couric's response: "I might like that!"

Your argument is fallacious. No one will stigmatize a man if he likes 'big women, rough women, geeky women'.

On the other hand, whether its a man or a woman, they cannot get away with pedophilia and other criminal sexual perversions that infringes on the rights of others.
